Do you think the world has gotten worse or does it just seem that way cause of social media? I feel the world was better in 2014 than 2024

In some ways better, in some ways worse. Since you posted it in the politics subforum. Yes, politically the world is way worse compared to 2014. And I am scared of what is happening in the next decade. We still have at least 4 years of Trump ahead.

It's worse. How much varies on who you are and where you are

It's worth noting that world poverty has steadily been decreasing for some time now.

World Poverty Rate 1981-2025

Poverty headcount ratio at $5.50 a day is the percentage of the population living on less than $5.50 a day at 2011 international prices. As a result of revisions in PPP exchange rates, poverty rates for individual countries cannot be compared with poverty rates reported in earlier editions.

1989 was the best year I experienced.
